Fool Us S01
Sep 12, 2014 Magicians Cubic Act, Nick Einhorn, Michael Vincent, and Morgan & West try to fool the veteran duo with their tricks and illusions...
Not the right episode. That said, the beginning of the show explained the concept MUCH better than last week. I enjoyed the quasi fight with the last guy. And I can't believe they left Georgi dead. I'm not watching these live, but it sounds like this is from the original special, not the 8 episode run. They must have cut that down to fit an (American) hour?
The last guy was a case where having a separate offstage judge (who apparently gets shown how the tricks really work) saved everyone a lot of grief. I agree about the ending of the Georgi trick, but I concede that's a matter of taste. I would have preferred if they brought her out for a curtain call or something. I wonder if they do do that in the live show? Edited August 7, 2014 by Latverian Diplomat. This would have been a much better episode to start with. I wonder why they chose to show it second.
I don't recall ever seeing Ali Cook from when I watched the series on youtube. I really enjoyed that routine. Michael Vincent might have the smoothest hands in magic. I love watching him work. I do close-up card magic, and watching him is inspirational. The transformations of the aces are just beautiful.

I know what he's doing, but I can't in a million years make it look as good as he does. I adore John Archer's routine. The scripting is so clever, and I love the fact that something which seems so simple fooled P&T. Makes me laugh every time I see it. Earl kind of got off on a technicality. I love his style and there are pieces of that routine I'm not 100% sure of, but P&T knew the bulk of how that trick worked, and I think he knew that. Yes, Penn did NOT look happy that the last act 'fooled' them, but at least it showed us there was a system set up that a third party can make the final call.
I wonder if that magician really did make it to Vegas? Speaking of winning acts going to Vegas, does anyone here know if they all ened up going over? Was there one big show that P&T produced that featured the winning contestants of this show? And, I agree with you, Gary E, that the show's rules were explained better. No threats to ruin a magician's act by exposing all the secrets. Edited August 7, 2014 by A Boston Gal.

This show has a long pilot episode (six acts) which tonight's CW episode was drawn from. This was shown in the UK in Jan, 2011. Then there was an 8 episode series starting in June 2011. The two winners from the pilot were shown touring and performing in Vegas in a brief featurette in the first regular episode.
And, it's not like P&T are paying for any of this, so there's no reason to really renege on the deal. FWIW, there's an act later on where it's clear how it was done, but due to a technicality in how Penn explains it, they skate through. They are probably the least deserving recipients of the 'fooled us' crown. A couple of the later acts get by because they do pretty obvious feints that look like a move but aren't, leading P&T to guess that they made a switch (or whatever) when they didn't. It's technically bad routining, because you'd never want to do something sneaky if it isn't necessary, unless you're trying to mislead other magicians. So they get by, and while it's not cheating, it's kind of counter to the spirit of the thing. That may be true, but there's one case in particular where an act more or less gets busted and more or less lawyers their way through.
We can discuss that in more detail if and when they appear in this run. Though his first few shufflings were face up so he can put the aces where he wants, and the first was flipped immediately from that. All in all, he was pretty slick, I'll give him that, but his act wasn't really that foolworthy.
I wonder if there was a terminology disconnect or something? The other card act that didn't get throuhg IMO was more impressive, even if P&T saw it completely. Now the Envelope trick, that was impressive. With the camera cuts it's a bit hard to track everything, and he did put his envelope into his pocket quickly after the reveal (as normal). I have no clue how he could make sure the right envelope had the pounds in it (and not a fake 0pound note as well). Georgi, I'm stumped.
I'd almost say there was a camera cut there for her to slip out. She looks like she's actually slid back under the saw itself (to make room for the false middle) but there doesn't seem to be enough time for her to slip out before they pull the tables apart. I could see her head and feet sliding into the box as they pull them apart, but there doesn't seem to be anything to hide her body under the saw itself any more. Then again with all the cut aways from the trick, it's hard to track it.

She folds into the front part of the box. It’s deeper than it looks, and she’s agile—it’s one of reasons the woman sawed in half is almost always in good shape.
The legs are fake, and move with either a lever, string, or even a small motor-since the legs moved back as the torso was pulled out, I'm thinking string. She turns her head to make it less obvious that she’s in the front part, and sometimes they even hold her head/neck steady so she doesn’t give that part away. In the Penn & Teller trick, the torso is fake, and a nice misdirection. They might have lied about her height, and heels might make it seem less likely she’d fit but could still fold up into the top part.
That or Penn & Teller are really hoping for diplomatic immunity. I’d have liked to see an audience vote, where the best magician got sent to Vegas each week. That first card magician guy was so smooth he deserved a trip.
